What in the world does the Governor's Council do? That's one of the most common questions that a candidate for a seat on this elected body receives. According to attorney Jeff Morneau, candidate for one of those seats, it's the "most important elected office that most people don't know about." And among all public positions that potentially have the greatest potential to make a very dramatic impact on our lives and the lives of family members, it's difficult to think of someone more powerful than a judge. Judges, whether they serve in district court, probate, superior court, or even, the Supreme Judicial Court, are all selected only after being fully vetted by members of the Governor's Council. In this episode, we unpack in more detail the role of the Governor's Council, Jeff's background as an attorney, running a practice, a husband and a Dad, and his passion for employment law and fighting for workers rights and more.

I hope you'll enjoy my conversation with Jeff Morneau.
